Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })King's Quest III: To Heir is Human is the third game in the King's Quest series. It is the first game where you play as someone other than King Graham of Daventry. It is famous for its particularly brutal Copy Protection.In the game, you are Gwydion, the slave of the evil sorcerer Manannan; you cook and clean for him, but long for freedom. One day, Manannan decides to go on a journey, and the race is on— you now have the ability to explore the land of Llewdor and find a way to escape the evil man. But escape is only part of the adventure— you also have a burning desire to find out who you are, where you came from, and how you can get home...At first, this story seems unconnected to the earlier two King's Quest games and even caused a small bit of controversy when the game first launched, due to Gwydion having no obvious link to the royal family of Daventry. The connection between games is revealed only at the end of the first act, and if you've played the later games, you know what it is already.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

All There in the Manual: All of the spell formulas. Also, neither Manannan's motivation for kidnapping babies (instead of children who can do actual work), nor for kidnapping Graham's son in particular are mentioned anywhere at all in the game.

The AGD remake includes all the spell formulas in an in-game book in Mannan's basement, forgoing the Copy Protection aspect, and the gameplay shift from a text parser to a point-and-click interface makes preparing spells a little easier. The game also includes a timer in the HUD with indicators warning the player when Mannanan's going to return home.

Adult Fear: Graham paralyzed by grief. His son was kidnapped from his cradle and enslaved by his enemies somewhere, his kingdom has been burnt to cinders by a dragon that his best efforts cannot defeat with innocents suffering and dying on his watch...and then his only remaining child offers herself up as a Human Sacrifice. The canonical game shows this towards the end and is explained by Rumplestiltskin and Rosella, and in the ending.

Anti-Frustration Features: In the Infamous Adventures remake the magic map actually transports you all the way back up to Mannan's house instead of just to the bottom of the mountain and making you walk all the way back up every time as in the original, saving you many an instance of falling to your death. Likewise you don't need to type in every line of spell preparation letter-perfect or Have a Nice Death, although you will still die if you attempt a spell without all proper materials. The AGD remake includes all the spell formulas in an in-game book in Mannan's basement, forgoing the Copy Protection aspect, and the gameplay shift from a text parser to a point-and-click interface makes preparing spells a little easier. The game also includes a timer in the HUD with indicators warning the player when Mannanan's going to return home.
